- Complete medical history review and physical examination by the orthopedic surgeon.
- Diagnostic imaging such as X-rays, CT scans, or MRI to assess the fracture in detail.
- Pre-operative blood tests and possibly an ECG to ensure fitness for anesthesia.

- Fasting (no food or drink) for 6-12 hours prior to the procedure as advised.
- Arranging for help at home and time off work for the initial recovery period.

Had my gallbladder out at MGM....
Had my gallbladder out at MGM. Dr. Vinod was really clear about what to expect after. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie, but his team had a good plan for the pain that actually worked. Follow-up was simple, he just told me to take it easy and call if anything felt off. Felt normal again quicker than I thought.
